Two important dates coming up. June 14th is my birthday (Gary) and while not important to most, it is something I look forward to. The second date, June 15th is a biggie. We just heard from our agency and as some of you know, the Ethiopian courts close every year. The closure typically lasts from the end of July or early August, until mid September. During this time the judges have vacation and a new schedule is made for the upcoming year. Due to the closure referrals will not be given after June 15th. Anyone who receives a referral before June 15th is expected to get through the court system before closure. The referral process will begin again approximately September 15th.
As of right now we are sitting around the 12 spot on the "unofficial list" so we are still very hopeful that we will get word before the 15th of June. However now there is a known cut-off date and the panicking has started.

My fingers are crossed for a referral before then. Maybe it'll be an early birthday present for you, Gary!
P.S. My dad's birthday is on flag day too.
Oh man, my prayers are with you for a referral sooner rather than later...
Also, can you do the rest of the stuff even if the courts close? Do you only need them for the referral?
I hope you get your referral before the 15th, too! That would be a good birthday present, wouldn't it?
